Seems these days more and more paintless dent repair companies are either forming their own auto reconditioning companies or sub contracting the work out. Either way it adds more profit to the bottom line. Bumper repair alone can earn $250k a year. Wheel repair $100k plus. Why not? If you have an organized plan and a good team, your own your way to success.
Franchises are really not the way to go though. You can achieve the same thing on your own but if you have already experience in the industry, it’s really not hard. The hardest is getting the right honest, dependable and responsible technicians. Oh did I forget, quality is always a must too.
The future is a well rounded company who can offer all the services with affordable good service. Not cheap, I said “affordable”. If you realize your service has value, your customers will too. It’s just the way it goes. You play the low ball game, you then become the game. You’ll be forever caught up in it until you burn out. Well enough about that.
The best advice I can give is to pace yourself. Pay attention to your business plan, keep your budget and market towards the internet. Maintain balance and don’t let your wheel get wobbly. Other wise you are heading for a shaky ride.
Everything has it’s dues. Bumper and wheel repair can have very picky people. Problems can happen like dust, runs, fish eyes, unmatched paint and so forth. But everything has it’s payoff as well. If you are willing to go through some learning challenges and adventures, you’ll get to the end of the tunnel. If you’re worried about failing, then you should be more worried about not succeeding .
